How many members does r/StrangerThings have?

Is r/StrangerThings growing?
We don't have 30 days of snapshot history for r/StrangerThings yet, so we're not going to invent a growth number. We've been tracking it since Sep 23; the chart fills in as history accumulates.
How active is r/StrangerThings?
Around 16.6 posts per day, measured from the newest 100 posts on Reddit, which span 6.0 days. Posting rate matters more than subscriber count when you're deciding where to spend your time — it determines how long your comment stays visible.
When was r/StrangerThings created?
r/StrangerThings was founded in October 2015 and is a public — anyone can post community. Age matters: an older community with steady growth has survived Reddit's moderation churn; a young one with a spike may not.
Who posts in r/StrangerThings?
Of the last 100 posts we sampled, 79% came from distinct accounts; the newest was published Nov 6. A low share means a feed dominated by a handful of accounts (bots, mods, or one prolific poster) rather than a community.
